Manila, April 8.— There has been a
respite in hostilities, ohiefly in order
to allow the Filipinos to digest the
proclamation. The rebels remain re
markably quiet.
The sharpshooters of General Law
ton’s lines have borrowed Filipino tac
tics and are harassing the rebels at
night, picking off some of them nightly.
Malolos is resuming its natural as
pect. Preparations are being made for
establishing a permanent camp for
the troops there, and the soldiers are
cleaning th e city. One-third of the
American force at Malolos is sent
nightly to form an advance line a mile
north of the city, with patrols and
sentries ahead of the line.
General M acA rth ur’s volunteers are
receiving Krag-Jorgensen rifles, the
Filipinos having discovered that they
can effectively fire their Mausers and
retreat before the Americans approach
near enough to use their Springfield
rifles with effect.
Advices received here from Samar,
an island forming a province of the
Philippines, says the revolutionists
there are weary. Their leader, Luk-
ban, of Chinese ancestry, has deserted
with the funds. The inhabitants ar*
desirous of American rule.

New York. April 10.—The Herald
•ays Brigadier-General Stone will go
to Washington tomorrow,where he will
call the attention of the president to
the starvation ami di8tress in Porto
Rico. He thinks th a t the desperate
state of the people may lead to insur
rection if relief is not forthcoming.
He has ju s t returned from a journey of
10 days through the interior of the
island.
The general was attached to the de
partment of agriculture before the
war, and during hostilities he was in
Porto Rico as a member of General
Miles’ staff. This last trip was made
with a party of capitalists and railroad
men. He was also invited by Maior-
Gerteral Henry to give advice concern
ing the construction of roads through
the islands.
' • « p i e are dying of starvation all
through tho in terio r," said General
Stone.
" I n the district of Aguas
Banns there were many deaths. The
judge in the district of Comerio showed
nre a book in which he had recorded
the name! of many who died for leok
of food. General G ran t reported 89
deaths from starvation in one districL
I eaw hundreds of natives emaoiated
and weak. When I left Porto Rico
there were 100.000 persons there who
had had neither bread nor meat for
two weeks.
" T h i s Btate of affairs is largely due
to the short coffee crop and the ruinoua
competition ol Brazil.
Porto Rican
coffee is selling at from 7 to 8 cents at
seaports, and the transportation takes
nearly all of this sum. Major-General
Henry ia issuing rations and is doing
everything in his power to alleviate
the distress.
" I t is difficult, however, to reach
tire interior. The supplies are sent to
military posts anil distributed as well
as possible. Still Major-General Henry
cannot go on in this way. Hia money,
derived from customs, will give out
soon. He oannot make thiB people an
object o( charity. He has found work
for at loaBt 6.000 men on the road-
building.
W ith good roads and a
mean« of getting out of the interior
with fruits and vegetables, something
can be done to develop the island.
"A n oth er element contributing to
tho distress of the Porto Rioans is the
tact th a t the United States oontinuea
to levy d uty upon them. They had
free trade with Spain, which ia now
cut off. Yet with all th eir sufferings,
the Porto Rioans apeak w ith pride ae
belonging to the U nited States. They
do not expect Porto Rico to become •
state.
" P o r to Rioo is the home of the or
ange, yet oranges are rotting on th*
trees. They are sold at 50 cents a bar
rel. I bought them five for a cent.
They are as good as the Indian rives
oranges.
“ One of the objects of my visit was
to make arrangem ents for the estab
lishm ent of an experiment station nn>
der the d epartm ent of agriculture. 1
have found a place which I th in k will
bo suitable for the raising of winter
vegetables.’’

New York, April 10.—A special to

the suggestion of Rear-Admiral Brad

a comprehensive scheme
has been
adopted by tire navy d epartm ent u n
der which coaling stations will be
placed at strategic points in the Weel

control of the Virgin, Mona and Wind

It is proposed to establish ooaling
stations at Culebra island, lying be
tween Porto Rico and the Virgin
islands; at Mayaguez, which lies on
the western shore of Porto Rico and
controls the Mona passage, and at
G uantanam o on the southern side o|
Cuba, or at Nipe bay on the northern
coast, either of whioh control* th*
